Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the reparative potential of cementum histologically after intentional root contact with a temporary skeletal anchorage device. Methods Seventeen patients (8 male,…
Introduction In this retrospective study with 3-dimensional computed tomography, we evaluated airway volume, soft-palate area, and soft-tissue thickness changes before and after rapid maxillary expansion in adolescents. Another purpose was…
Introduction An important objective of orthodontic treatment is to obtain the correct mesiodistal angulation and faciolingual inclination for all teeth. Current techniques are based on crown angulation and inclination standards,…
Lymphangioma of the tongue causes massive tongue enlargement, leading to difficulties in swallowing and mastication, speech disturbances, airway obstruction, and skeletal deformities such as open-bite malocclusion. Early reduction of tongue…
Treatment of children with several congenitally missing teeth is challenging, because growth and development of the oral structures must be considered. The treatment options include retaining the deciduous teeth and…
Introduction The purpose of this research was to evaluate microdamage accumulation after mini-implant placement by self-drilling (without a pilot hole) and self-tapping (screwed into a pilot hole) insertion techniques. The…
Introduction The aim of the study was to determine the most accurate threshold value for airway volume quantification based on specific experimental conditions. Methods Ten scans from the airway prototype…
The shape and size of tooth roots are genetically and phylogenetically predetermined. Clinical defects in root formation can manifest in the form of shortened roots caused by either root agenesis…
Introduction The purpose of this article is to examine the feasibility of digital signature technology to guarantee the legal validation of electronic dental records. Methods The possible uses of digital…
Trauma to the mandible often causes condylar fracture. This article reports the conservative treatment of a 10-year-old girl with a unilateral condylar fracture, highlighting the diagnostic aspects involved and the…
Introduction There is a paucity of information with regard to the susceptibility of iatrogenic white spot lesion formation after inattentive, surplus orthodontic etching with 30% phosphoric acid and the subsequent…
Dr Larry White is a well-respected clinician, author, and educator. He has authored or contributed to several books, published numerous articles, and edited several professional publications. He is currently on…
In the previous article, we introduced the concepts of power and type I and type II errors and gave an example of the required steps for sample-size calculations for comparing…
Introduction The aim of this study was to examine whether there is a relationship between the position of impacted maxillary canines and the morphology of the maxilla. Methods The palatally…
Introduction The palatine rugae have been suggested as stable reference points for superimposing 3-dimensional virtual models before and after orthodontic treatment. We investigated 3-dimensional changes in the palatine rugae of…
Introduction This study was designed to test the hypothesis that thermoplastic retainers influence oral microbial flora during the retention period because they prevent the flushing effect of saliva on dental…
Introduction The effect of zoledronic acid, a potent and novel bisphosphonate, on tooth movement and orthodontically induced root resorption in osteoporotic animals systemically treated with zoledronic acid as similarly used…
Introduction Several metals undergo redox cycling, producing free radicals and generating oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate in-vitro oxidative stress of orthodontic archwires made of various…
Two-piece vs 3-piece surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion Landes CA, Laudemann K, Petruchin O, Revilla C, Seitz O, Kopp S, et al. Advantages and limits of 3-segment (paramedian) versus 2-segment (median)…
Your last initial examination of the week is another transfer patient. It seems that you have been identified as a willing recipient of these patients, because the caller told your…
